Study Notes

Ultrasound Imaging Fundamentals

Ultrasound imaging is based on the physical principle of reflection and scattering of sound waves by tissues.
Ultrasound radiations are safe because they are non-ionizing and non-invasive.

Interaction Phenomena

Ultrasound waves interact with tissues through reflection, refraction, scattering, and absorption.

Imaging Diagnostics

Imaging diagnostics based on physical principles include ultrasound, X-ray, MRI, PET, and CT scan.

Transducers and Probes

Transducers convert electrical energy into ultrasound waves and probes convert ultrasound waves into electrical signals.
They are used to generate and detect ultrasound waves in ultrasound imaging.

Imaging Techniques

Common imaging techniques used in ultrasound imaging include A-mode, B-mode, M-mode, and Doppler.

Image Artifacts

Common image artifacts in ultrasound imaging include shadowing, enhancement, reverberation, and artifact echoes.

Radiofrequencies

The frequency range of radiofrequencies is 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

Advantages of Ultrasound Radiations

Ultrasound radiations have no radiation risk, low cost, portability, and real-time imaging capabilities.

Other Physical Principles

Other physical principles on which imaging diagnostics can be based include electromagnetic radiation, magnetic fields, and nuclear radiation.

Basic Physics of Ultrasound Imaging

The basic physics of ultrasound imaging involves the production, propagation, and detection of ultrasound waves in tissues.
